Skypephone Adapter
Q: Does a Skypephone adapter make any sense?
A: So-called Skypephone adapters allow a regular telephone to be used over an Internet service. While the Skypephone adapter approach may make sense for certain types of users, in this Audio Tip we discuss why we see Skypephone adapters are a mistake for most Skype users.
With a Skypephone adaptor, a call received at the computer can be answered on a traditional phone. You get all the conveniences—and inconveniences—of normal phones.
Have you ever liked holding a phone in one hand while trying to work at the computer with the other? Do you like squeezing a phone between your ear and shoulder when you need your hands free? Do you enjoy using most speakerphones? A Skypephone adapter may make Skype familiar, but it brings back all these unpleasant user experiences. A Skypephone adapter makes today's technology work with 100-year-old technology.
Better than a VOIP Skypephone adapter is the Auzentech VR-Fidelity VOIP Skypephone. This particular Skypephone doesn't need the Skypephone adapter—it uses a standard USB plug and is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh computers—without drivers.
As a speakerphone, the VR-Fidelity VOIP Skypephone is hands-free and tether-free. You are able to move about the room within a nine-foot radius. You never have to cradle it on your shoulder. It has intelligent echo cancellation technology. There is no muting or echo of voices on either end. The sound is exceptional, and that makes the VR-Fidelity VOIP Skypephone perfect for audio conferences.
The secret to the VR-Fidelity is the built-in, high-quality sound card, great for music and voice. In fact, many users plug their desktop speakers into the VR-Fidelity VOIP Skypephone Aux Output jack and use it as an external soundcard.
The VR-Fidelity Skypephone is always at the ready, no Skypephone adapter needed. When someone Skypes you, accept the call on the computer and begin talking as if the caller were in the room with you: No headsets. No cords. No echo.
VR-Fidelity Skypephone is a breakthrough. Instead of using a Skypephone adapter to dumb-down Skype, the VR-Fidelity Skypephone transforms the experience of talking on the phone. After conducting hands-free conversations with good range on any computer, you may never want to use an old-fashioned phone again.
